HST.508[J] Evolutionary and Quantitative Genomics

()
(Same subject as 1.872[J])
Prereq: Permission of instructor
Units: 4-0-8
Lecture: MWF11-12.30 (4-145)

Develops deep quantitative understanding of basic forces of evolution, molecular evolution, genetic variations and their dynamics in populations, genetics of complex phenotypes, and genome-wide association studies. Applies these foundational concepts to cutting-edge studies in epigenetics, gene regulation and chromatin; cancer genomics and microbiomes. Modules consist of lectures, journal club discussions of high-impact publications, and guest lectures that provide clinical correlates. Homework assignments and final projects develop practical experience and understanding of genomic data from evolutionary principles.
